Abstract (en)
Antenna diversity receiving system comprising an antenna device including a plurality of FM antennas as well as controllable switching means for sequentially switching through one of said plurality of FM antennas via an antenna cable to a receiver upon reception of a switching control signal. The receiver comprises a multipath detector coupled to a pulse generator for generating a pulse signal to be used as such switching control signal. To secure accurate detection of said switching control signal the pulse generator is coupled to a pulse shaper to convert the pulse signal of the pulse generator into a pulse signal pair comprising a first signal pulse followed by a second signal pulse having a signal polarity opposite to the signal polarity of the first signal pulse, said pulse signal pair having a waveform varying symmetrically around a reference level and being supplied through the antenna cable to the antenna device. <IMAGE>
